Sunday Salon Concert - $10 suggested donation
This program explores the meaning and expression of the poetic form of the elegy across multiple generations and cultural landscapes. In this program we hear from artists specifically writing elegies (Takemitsu), artists who write tributes to each other, other artists, and friends (Takemitsu, Kurtag, and Knussen), and artists who explore the meaning of the elegy as a form of memorializing a past version of their life, such as their childhood (Enescu). Through these beautiful pieces, we are able to look at the elegy from multiple angles and explore what is so compelling about the elegy as a form of exploring memory and seeking reflection.
